Default Had a nice run in........

Got nuked by a very nice car this weekend - a mint Vauxhall Lotus Carlton only seen 1 or 2 on the road before

Very tidy, right hand drive example, nothing I could do to keep him behind me, though I put up a good noisy HKS fight Always nice when people are up for a play!

edited - doh yes it was a Lotus, not a 2.0 diplomat
